As for Simeon archbishop of Seleucia / I will not deny / but at that time was the name of archbishops / for then Satan had made through the titles of archbishop / primate / patriarch / as it were three stairs / whereby antichrist might clime up into his cursed seat. Notwithstanding there wanted not good decrees of godly councils / which did strike at these proud names / and went about to keep them down / but the swelling waters of the ambition of divers / could not by any banks be kept in / which having once broken out in certain places / afterwards covered almost the face of the whole earth.
